I am using a child theme of twenty twelve theme and I wish to hide the comments appearing on the activity page. If some reader clicks the comments tab, them they can show up.
I have the latest BP installed.

I am starting a new site so membership is nil. Hence I do not want readers to see there is no members. I have removed the members tab, but that then kills the links on the top right of the bar, where it says howdy.

You need to stop them now, as best you can and delete all members you have in there. A new BP site I have has had over 29,000 spam stopped in the last month. Do not forget WordPress is under a bot attack at the moment.

I would like to show private groups forum posts, listed in the forum directory, but when the link is clicked to read more, its diverted to a page that says this is a private group. Same way as the activity page treats private groups I would like the forum directory to treat them the same way.
Any help would be great thanks.

Hi @mercime, sorry I should have marked this post resolved. When I was checking the script for more faults, I noticed that I could not upload photos. To resolve this I changed the default settings in media from
/home/www/mysite.com/wp-content/uploads.
to
wp-content/uploads

Then all the avatars appeared and I could also upload.
But thanks for your help.
